Gear Report: Best Vocal Microphones 2023

by | Audio, Gear, Gear Report, Production

When it comes to buying the very best vocal microphone, the decision is hugely personal. It really does boil down to the qualities of the voice it will be capturing and whether it’ll be used in the studio or on the stage. It can be hard to know where to start – especially when there are so many mics to choose from.

Vocal microphones are designed with the science of acoustical sound in mind. The range of acoustic pressures (e.g., frequencies) that the human ear can detect is very wide, and this is also true for any detectors of sound, such as microphones.  It’s easy to take our gear cues from our favorite artists, but on finding out the cost of high-end recording and live equipment, it can bring us back down to earth with an almighty thud. There are plenty of superb quality mics out there that don’t cost a fortune but will still do your vocals the justice they deserve. In this Gear Report, we’re looking at some of the best vocal mics available today, aimed at a variety of situations and budgets.


1.  sE Electronics V7 Vocal Microhone

sE Electronics V7 Vocal MicrohoneThe sE Electronics V7 handheld dynamic microphone proves you don’t have to spend a fortune to capture great-sounding live vocals. The V7’s specialized aluminum voice coil helps deliver natural-sounding reproduction of male and female voices, while giving it a crisp, open quality. Its supercardioid design delivers excellent isolation from ambient stage noise and allows copious amounts of gain before feedback. The V7 capsule’s integrated shockmounting cuts down on handling noise and rumble, while its internal windscreen attenuates performance-marring plosives and wind noise. The V7 mic is built tour-tough with durable zinc alloy construction and a rugged beveled spring steel-mesh grille.

2. Shure SM58 Vocal Microphone

Shure SM58 Vocal MicrohoneNo live vocal microphone list would be complete without the world’s most popular mic — the Shure SM58. Introduced in 1966, the SM58 has become the industry standard for handheld dynamic vocal microphones. Like its SM57 stablemate that proceeded it, the SM58 is based on the Unidyne III cartridge developed by Shure in the late 1950s. The SM58 is, in fact, a ’57, with an additional meshed ball grille that acts as an effective pop filter. Virtually every serious live sound and studio mic locker contains several (sometimes dozens of) SM58s. Why? Because you can hand one to any vocalist or place it in front of most instruments with excellent results. And this mic is virtually indestructible — which is important whether you’re gigging solo at your local bar or embarking on a world tour.

And whereas most ribbon mics exhibit notorious proximity effect, the Beyerdynamic TG V90r vocal microphone remains natural-sounding even when brushing against a singer’s lips. Its ultra-sensitive 2-micrometer aluminum ribbon also makes it great for percussion and other instruments where the ability to capture fast transients is an asset.
